Chapter 661: Communiqué Personal Vendetta
Aunt Cui came out of the North Chamber in a daze, and was escorted all the way to her Qingshizhai by two maids, because Yu Shu was the most embarrassed to assume that words, she was scared and the whole person woke up, this is not the end, before dinner, Yu Shu sent Xin'er to pass the word, closed the door, and only told Aunt Cui alone.
"The girl said, Mrs. should be cautious in her words and deeds in the house in the future, those words that were not clean and insulting in the past, must not be said again, although it is their own home, but do not prevent the people below from secretly learning to speak, if it is spread outside, it will ruin the reputation of our family, so that people think that Mrs. is not kind, the girl is not filial, the imperial history of the court has a good ear, how many people in Beijing are jealous of our girl on an errand in Si Tianjian, one by one, they all look at the opportunity to fall into the well, and if they don't take advantage of it, it will be difficult to protect, and at that time, even this house will be taken back, Our family may have to send someone under the fence and count on Mrs. He's family to live. ”
After a few words, Aunt Cui was shocked when she heard it, and cold sweat broke out, and she didn't even have the strength to resist a word.
Xin'er took the words, wrote down her expression, then turned around and left, and returned to Peking University to learn from Yu Shu.
When the lady heard this, her face turned pale, as if she was frightened, she didn't say anything, and the slave didn't stay there long, so she came back.
Yu Shu snorted lightly, Aunt Cui's reaction was as she expected, before she scolded her for being "unfilial" at every turn, using this to threaten, to ask for this and that, these days in the mansion to be powerful, she endured it with one eye open and one eye closed.
Aunt Cui only took her weakness, but she didn't know that Yu Shu didn't have a seizure, but she was just putting up with her. If you really want to gag her mouth, she has a lot of methods.
Xin'er quit and closed the door, and saw Lin Er standing not far away waiting for her.
"Sister, have you been to Qingyu Zhai?"
"Well, I've been."
"Then, did you really teach Madame what your master said?" Yu Shu didn't avoid anyone when he told Xin'er just now, and Lin Er heard it word for word.
"What a lesson, what our master said is right," Xin'er frowned and corrected her, seeing her stick out her tongue. I couldn't help but pat her on the head. said in a low voice: "You too, when you go to the kidney bean to learn the mouth, you don't say a word." ”
The sisters heard about Aunt Cui's various inappropriateness a few days earlier, and they intended to report Yu Shu. But it's not good to cross kidney beans, the oldest qualified maid in Peking University. So I'm going to tell her about it first. It's up to her to decide how to sue her master.
Lin Er looked confused: "I didn't say it, didn't my sister say it?" ”
Xin'er was taken aback, it wasn't what she said. It's not what Lin Er said, when did the master know that Aunt Lu Daocui's behavior was not dignified? Did the kidney beans say it, or did the master already count it, and it was just silent.
Thinking of the latter possibility, Xin'er panicked, grabbed Lin Er's hand, and couldn't say a whole sentence for a while.
"Sister, what's wrong with you, don't scare me."
Xin'er smiled bitterly and shook her head, she didn't know how to tell her, the two of them were smart before, I don't know if the master saw it in his eyes, he was really smart but was mistaken by being smart.
Speaking of which, in the past few days, the master doesn't like to ask the two of them to serve closely, but Kwai Zi's later left and right are not separated, does the master think they are slippery and don't like it?
The more Xin'er thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case, and she regretted it, it was better to listen to Lin'er's words, they went to the master to please first, rather than offending kidney beans and disgusting the master, that would be fatal.
Xin'er figured out this floor, and pulled Lin Er back to the room to explain
However, he said that Mrs. Qiu, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, had gone to Yin Deng's wedding banquet, returned to her home, and received a message from Yu Shu in the evening, asking her to make a list of the ladies who went to Yin's mansion with her today.
Yu Shu didn't say why, but Mrs. Qiu guessed that Mrs. Yin had offended her, and hesitated again and again, but she didn't refuse the matter, first, for friendship, and secondly, for Mingzhe's life.
So after dinner, there was a list of people who were at Yin's banquet today's banquet lying on the table in Yu Shu's study, relatives and friends, noted them one by one, she copied it down, and burned the list.
Tonight, many families sneezed in the back house, and they didn't know which way they offended, and they were unlucky.
***
The next day, Yu Shu came to the Kunling Bureau, and the first thing he did was to ask Wen Shaoan to move out all the official marriage documents to be issued last month, and then find out a few thick family names from the library pavilion, take the list that was copied last night, and ask Wen Shaoan to check it.
"Hubu Shilang, Yin Zhourong, let me check the children of his family to be married, first and then the concubine, if not, check the three generations of close relatives of his family."
Wen Shao'an is proficient in business, flipping through the genealogy of Yan's surname with one hand and copying with the other, and in a few minutes, he will remember how many children there are in this Yin Shilang's mansion, how many people are to be married, and how many people are to be married.
"The household department gives the matter to Zuo Lang, the Yan family" Yu Shu read them one by one, and throughout the morning, Wen Shaoan made a list of nearly 100 people.
Yu Shu looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, waved his big hand, and instructed him: "According to this list, find out the relevant ones from the official marriage documents I approved, and you can remember the rest, and see it later, divide it separately and present it to me." ”
Wen Shao'an didn't ask a word of nonsense, buried himself in classification, and after a while, he brought more than a dozen books to her desk, which she approved early last month, and the big seal was stamped, just waiting for the official to send it to the mansions in the middle of the month.
Yu Shu checked it and confirmed that it was correct, and then in front of Wen Shaoan, he tore it up one by one, threw it into the spittoon, and called Lu Hong outside the door to come in.
"Take it and find it and burn it clean."
Lu Hong took it.
Yu Shu turned around, Wen Shaoan was looking at her, thought about it, and explained to him: "These people have offended me. ”
Wen Shaoan turned around and went to work.
Yu Shu was strange, stopped him and asked, "Don't you persuade me to say a few words?" ”
Wen Shaoan said calmly: "Persuade what? ”
"Persuade me not to declare a personal vendetta or something."
Wen Shaoan glanced at her, with a lot of sarcasm, although this kid was respectful to Yu Shu, but she was never afraid in front of her, and she was still such an unpopular stinky temper.
"Whoever offends the adults deserves to be unlucky, what is the matter of despicable duty. Since the adults have done it, they will definitely be able to hold on to this matter, so why should they talk too much. ”
Yu Shu was bored with himself, touched the bridge of his nose, and kept him busy.
After a while, Lu Hong came back, holding a rinsed spittoon.
"Back to my lord, it's all burned clean."
"Well, let it go."
After Yu Shu finished doing this, he felt comfortable. Yesterday I suffered a bird gas in Yin's Mansion. provoked liver work, and the corners of her mouth bubbled up this morning, she was not happy, and others also thought about it.
This official marriage paperwork. It is usually a three-month batch. It does not need to be inspected by the right commander. Yu Shu has the right to decide, when it will be issued, and whether it will be reconciled. It's all up to her, the female royal officer, to have the final say.
Which yamen does not have a few layers of secret roads, in the past, female imperial officials, mostly made a fortune through this road, withholding documents and not sending, it is an old rule for many years, if any family does not wait for the official to send a document, they will pay for it, if they meet the eye-open, delay for a year and a half.
Yu Shu first entered the officialdom, did not be contaminated with this kind of taking people's money and eliminating disasters, the previous batch of official marriage documents, she reported the idea of rather demolishing ten temples than destroying a marriage, once passed, all those who could be approved were approved, with good intentions, and did not want to embarrass anyone.
This time it was Yin Deng's family who provoked her, she burned those official marriage documents, just waiting for the incident to happen in the middle of the month, and the long-eyed people should know who she offended, together with Yin Shilang's mansion close to these families, they were counted, saying that they were angry, but in fact, they were going to slap the Yin Deng family.
She dared to instigate Aunt Cui to cheat her, so she asked their relatives and friends to avoid their family from now on.
***
In the evening of this day, Yu Shu went to the Wangji Building, she was in a bad mood, and wanted to find Xue Rui to drink to relieve her boredom, but she didn't meet Xue Rui, but she bumped into Jiang Huan.
Jiang Huan lived in the Wangji Building for a few days, and the shopkeeper Lin Fu knew her identity, and she didn't dare to slack off, so she was invited to the backyard when the old man came, and she ate tea in the private seat downstairs.
"Hua Lan?" Yu Shu called her small characters, the two gambled in the Cui family's big gambling hall and formed a friendship, Yu Shu liked her straightforward temperament, she hadn't seen her for many days, and she didn't look at her.
"Are you coming to my big brother? He's not here. ”
Jiang Huan smiled and said, "What to do with him, I'll look for you." ”
Yu Shuhu was suspicious next to her and asked, "Something?" ”
"Yes, happy event," Jiang Huan took out a gilded invitation from her sleeve and handed it to her, "It's my mother's birthday in three days, please come and be a guest." ”
Yu Shu frowned, she was upset when she heard that others were doing her birthday, so she suffered a loss at Yin Deng's wedding banquet, and her anger did not disappear, so this is here again.
Truth be told, she didn't want to go.
Jiang Huan saw that her expression was wrong, so she put away her smile and said unhappily: "You don't want to come?" Look down on me? ”
"Where, where do you say," Yu Shu said, "if you look down on me." ”
Jiang Huan sneered: "How can I be so snobbish, I invited you to come, but because I like you as a friend, this girl in Beijing, all of them are greasy and crooked, only you and I have an appetite, I personally sent it to the door, if you don't come, why do you need to say such contemptuous words." ”
Yu Shu was speechless, where is she "self-light", don't you just say it casually, yes, this is really a joke.
"I'll go." She accepted the invitation, unwilling to lose this friend because she was not going well for a while.
Jiang Huan smiled happily at this time, chatted a few words with her, and left in a hurry
Yu Shu couldn't wait for Xue Rui, he drank half a pot of stuffy wine alone, and fell asleep in Wangji Building, but when he got up the next day, there was another big bubble in his mouth, and his mouth hissed and hurt.
Yu Shu was depressed, he went to Si Tianjian in the morning to order, explained a few official things to Wen Shao'an, and patted his ass and left, the people in the bureau just didn't see her slipping away, Jing Chen, the chief officer, saw the dragon all day long, like Yu Shu, who came to report every day, who could say that she was not.
Yu Shu didn't sit in a sedan chair, Xu Qing led the horse when she went out, she stepped on Xiaohong, led the two guards to the street, and the official robe on her body did not change, only the top of the black yarn hairpin, Zhu Ming's red background and blue kite, the people on the side of the road saw it, they had to bow their heads and give way, they didn't recognize the complement on her shoulder, but they knew that this was a female lord.
Walking to Qianyuan Street, there are many people, the shops along the street are booming everywhere, the peddlers and pawns are selling back and forth, Yu Shu looked at something interesting, so he asked Lu Hong to come forward to buy it, but the shop did not go shopping, and waited until Jubao Zhai in the name of Taiheng Chamber of Commerce before getting off the horse.
There was a white-skinned young man standing outside the door of Jubao Zhai, and when he saw Yu Shu dismounting, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward, and bent his waist to please:
"Little one, please say hello to Lord Yu, you came early today."
Yu Shu came to Pei Jing several times, and he recognized who she was because of this doorman.
Yu Shu threw a silver horn to him, copied his sleeves into the foyer, and went directly to the second floor.
"Master Yu, you have time to play today, it just so happens that Manager Pei is not in the shop today, and the villain will accompany you to take a look?"
In recent years, there is a difference of several levels between those who are in business and those who are officials, and the situation is better for Pei Jing who was born in a big arithmetic department, and the rest of the people have to smile and salute when they see an official.
"It's okay, I'll take a look, if you're busy, I'll do you."
The shopkeeper smiled: "What is the villain busy with, isn't this idle, a new batch of treasures has arrived in the south, and they haven't been made yet, do you give the palm an eye?" If you want to get into the eye, the villain will leave it for you, turn it back into the book, and then send it to your house. ”
This aunt, he knows, at the moment, the crystal stone business on the top beam of their shop has her handwriting, and tens of thousands of orders per month all rely on the support of this aunt, that is the God of Wealth, can he serve carelessly?
"Alright, go get it." Yu Shu's mouth hurts, and he tries to say a few words as little as possible.
There are several compartments on the second floor, there are large and small, each of them has a tea house, there is no door, only a bamboo curtain to cover, both respect the guests, show decency, open the window in the north and south, open the bright and fast.
Yu Shu was naturally invited to the innermost room, and as soon as he sat down, there was good tea and water served, a plate of sweet fruits, and a plate of peeled walnuts and almonds, not much, but intimate.
However, Yu Shu had a long mouth and couldn't eat, so he only took the fragrant tea and moistened his throat in small sips.
The shopkeeper's hemp slipped away, and Yu Shu walked around the house a few times with his hands behind his back, looking at the things on the treasure hunting lattice, the golden carving jade horse, and the drink, all of which were real things.
She came a month ago, but there are no these things, it seems that they are all newly added, this Jubao Zhai relied on selling crystals, and also made a windfall, but it was all on Pei Jing's account, and the income was also earned by his own family.
After waiting for a while, I didn't see the shopkeeper come back, but someone came to the next room, the movement was not small, the wall was not very soundproof, it was as soon as the guest who had just come over there opened her mouth, she heard it clearly.
"I heard that your shop sells a crystal gem, which can attract wealth and ward off evil spirits, bring it to me and take a look."
It's a woman, Yu Shu heard it a little familiar, so he walked a few steps towards the root of the wall, and this time he replied to the guy who was entertaining:
"Miss wants to appreciate the crystal, so I have to wait until the fifteenth of this month to come to the store."
It was the woman's soft voice again: "I don't look at you for nothing, you just take it, I'll buy it." ”
The guy said: "Miss wants to buy crystals, then you have to place an order first, pay half of the deposit first, wait until the end of the month, and then come to get the number, but the small one has more mouths, this number will be three months later at the latest, I don't know if you can wait." ”
The woman paused before she said, "Is there a ready-made one to sell, I am willing to pay five times the price." ”
In the next room, Yu Shu frowned, and secretly said unlucky, how did he meet her? (To be continued......)
